IKE and Hardware Storage

Public key certificates, private keys, and public keys can be stored on a Sun Crypto Accelerator 6000 or Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 board. For RSA encryption, the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 board supports keys up to 2048 bits. For DSA encryption, the board supports keys up to 1024 bits. The Sun Crypto Accelerator 6000 board supports the SHA-512 and ECC algorithms.

For information on how to configure IKE to access the board, see How to Configure IKE to Find the Sun Crypto Accelerator 1000 Board. For information on how to add certificates and public keys to the board, see How to Generate and Store Public Key Certificates on Hardware.
